But factors such as the cold air, bare trees and low humidity caused the fireworks to be louder than anticipated, startling those in and around the area.

"The City apologizes for any confusion and concern this may have caused to any residents, business members, and those in surrounding areas, and will reconsider similar requests in the future," the city said in a news release.
